No Weight LimitThe Old Government House Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Old Government House Hotel & Spa holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This place is a decent choice for dog owners, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Most rooms are dog friendly, which is a plus, but dogs are not allowed in the restaurant or terrace, limiting where you can hang out with your furry friend. The lounge and public areas are open to dogs, and they can stay in the room alone, which is a major convenience for those who want to explore without their canine companion.
Amenities are a mixed bag here. While they provide food and water bowls, you'll need to bring your own dog bed. Free treats are a nice touch, and the hotel offers guidance on dog walk routes, which is handy. However, there's no on-site garden or dedicated dog space, so you'll have to rely on nearby parks for walks.
The hotel charges no fee for dogs, which is a big deal and rare to find. However, a damage deposit is required for one night upon arrival, which adds to the upfront cost. There's a one-dog-per-room limit, which might be a hassle for those with multiple dogs. No weight restrictions mean all breeds are welcome, a refreshing change from places that exclude larger dogs like Labradors.
Overall, The Old Government House Hotel & Spa offers a decent stay for dog owners, with some conveniences and a few limitations. It's a solid option if you're looking for a place where your dog can stay for free, but be prepared for some restrictions on where your dog can roam.
